* A 34-year-old Bagley Township man was arrested Monday night for aggressive behavior toward de-puties who went to his residence to in-vestigate a 911 hang-up call. The man shares the residence with his 38-year-old girl friend and her 8-year-old son.

He was being held in the Otsego County Jail on a charge of simple assault and for an outstanding arrest warrant from another county for child neglect.

His name was being withheld pending arraignment in district court.

* "Cuff 'em Dano." A 10-year-old Bagley Township boy needed the help of a sheriff's deputy to unlock a pair of handcuffs found by the boy and then used on himself.

A 16-year-old baby sitter was watching the boy and another sibling when the boy, thinking the handcuffs were a toy, placed them around his wrists and locked them. The baby sitter called police.

Deputies said the handcuffs were not professional grade, but were in working order.

Using a common fork a deputy picked the lock and freed the child.
